Flower pins and and Hair clips

I love these flower pins that Emily with Jones Design Company made. Her blog is fantastic and she has so many tutorials!

I made these at Christmas time for little gifts to send to family in New Hampshire.  I started with just making them pins but later decided I would add a hair clip to the back as well.  This way they could be used both ways.  I  first made them using red, black and brown fabric but this summer wanted to make them a little brighter.  I  added hot pink, yellow, orange, blue and green to the mix. 

Making Bracelets

I know its been a super long time since I have blogged but here's hoping I can get back to posting on some regular basis.

We just got back from a great trip to New Hampshire and Vermont.  Thanks to my Mom for getting all of us started on making leather bead wrap bracelets.

We used this tutorial and kind of made our own adjustments as we went along.

Supplies needed

leather cord- we used black and  brown 1mm

beads- any size that a needle can pass through

beading string- we started with white and as we made more we switched to black
